[newbie] Netscape not working

[Darrel Branson]

G'day ... a small problem with netscape!
I've checked the mail archives and a few other places but still can't
findout how to get Netscape to work when I log into X as a regular user or
as root (I have a static IP going out through a router on our LAN). I can
ping hosts outside my network through an xterm but can't get an HTML page in
my browser by typing the name or by dotted IP. I presume its a permission
thing? I also have a DNS entry in resolv.conf .... any ideas would be a
great help.
Thanks
Darrel
